Revision as of 17:24, 22 September 2013

The Comic of the Week is a way to feature the large number of high-quality comics that are popular among members of the furry fandom - and perhaps a few that aren't yet as popular as they deserve to be, too. You can take part by nominating a comic for featuring.

Browsable overview of past comics

Nominate a comic

Please nominate up to three comics below (preface with *). Comics must have an existing article - if you want to feature a comic without an article, write the article first, then nominate it. Note that both general audience and mature nominations are welcome.

Others may support a nomination with indented comments (preface with :, and sign your name with ~~~~. Support is not the only (or even primary factor) for featuring - the justification given for featuring in the nomination will weigh heavily, as will availability of a high quality panel or title image representing the comic in the article, and of course the article itself.

Nominations

• Balls of Furr - Ricardo Canheta --Rcanheta 06:02, 20 January 2006
• Alice Otter by Miguel Estrugo ('Cause I need her.) --Stoneth 03:59, 14 February 2006
• Roomies by Dan Canaan --Leo Delgrith 15:12, 12 June 2006

With a better article I'd support that. Right now it's just two short paragraphs and no picture. --GreenReaper^(talk) 15:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Three D Comics by ImagoRabbit --65.28.190.117 07:08, 12 July 2006
• Exodus by Pepper --76.172.189.0 02:19, 12 December 2006

On hiatus right now. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• BF Funnies by Wyldsyde is my nomination, thanks! --Kattywampus 00:14, 11 March 2007

Would have been good but the comic does not appear to be updated on that site any more. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• The Blackblood Alliance by KayFedewa. Amazing art, and a great storyline to boot. Spaz Kitty 01:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

  Looks OK, but the site really needs to be up first. --GreenReaper^(talk) 05:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

• Pride of Baghdad, too, once it gets a better article. Spaz Kitty 01:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Worthwhile, but I would lean towards webcomics versus print ones, or at least an online preview of such a comic, if only so readers can follow the links to some amount of material. Jigsaw Forte 17:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Persona Animus by John Scharmen --76.211.192.213 06:32, 10 May 2007
• Black Tapestries by Jakkal --Lupercaleb 20:59, 24 July 2007

Is it too much to ask that a nominated article for a webcomic use the webcomic article template, and perhaps some actual images of the comic? Seems silly to have an article but not show off some of the featured artwork, after all. -- Jigsaw Forte 02:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

The webcomics template, yes, that's too much. If people don't want to use it, that's their call. I think it is important to have at least one picture (otherwise there is nothing to put on the front page, for a start). --GreenReaper^(talk) 05:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Obani u Wena by Karli Martin --Moon Loon 22:12, 7 August 2007

Seems to only have had a couple of strips . . . --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• Good Cheese by Kelly Hamilton --83.254.174.53 12:48, 31 October 2007
• Namir Deiter by Isabel Marks
• VG Cats by Scott Ramsoomair

Needs a better article, though, and a picture of the two featured felines. Spaz Kitty 23:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Blacksad by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido --Yamavu 00:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Cheap Thrills by Vivisection_Bob/Skurvy

Needs a better article, of course. Spaz Kitty 20:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Badly Drawn Kitties by Mat Sherer , drawn by Kat Smith --70.68.14.217 22:35, 16 May 2008
• El Goonish Shive by Dan Shive. --80.229.81.132 12:15, 18 June 2008
• Dandy & Company by Derrick Fish --69.221.240.4 15:39, 27 July 2008

• Foxtail Comics by J.M. Havens --Rat 03:08, 22 December 2008
• Elf and Motorbelly by Frank Grigonis --ToonGoon 03:58, 5 March 2009
• Darastrix_(comic) by Simon "Morgoth" King.

Up-and-coming comic with a believable cast in a familiar setting; starting to pick up the pace now. Has a small fanbase already, but needs more exposure. It's a comic that I think shows that an anthro comic in a terrestrial setting need not be mature to get noticed. Sy01 20:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Original Life by Jay Naylor --24.228.17.60 05:28, 29 August 2009
• Roommates written by Dreamous and drawn by Spelunker Sal --SorryForN00b 23:02, 10 February 2010
• Horndog by Isaac M. Baranoff

Underground favorite in need of further exposure. Lucifer 20:01, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

• Plush and blood by Tired Orange Cat (Corey Messer)

A comic that makes you think, if you're really reading it. Has never missed an update. Not mindless entertainment, though there's no doubt it's entertaining. --71.186.195.44 18:22, 10 March 2010

• Dracula (webcomic) by Tod Wills

An antro illiteration of the famous novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. --69.253.196.216 21:56, 11 April 2010

A well done comic by an amazing artist. --"I'm not always right, but I am never wrong." 17:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

• Peter is the Wolf by BAR-1 and Kris Overstreet

Very intriguing story, good character development, SFW and NSFW versions to choose from and very well drawn. I think it deserves more exposure. --76.202.194.57 14:42, 30 April 2010

• Doc Rat by Jenner

How is this not nominated yet?! ----Kitch ^{(Talk : Contrib)} 13:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

• Endtown by Aaron Nethery --Purpledog39 21:06, 9 July 2011
• busybee comics by fluffy --Fluffy 13:29, 17 November 2011
• Slightly Damned by Sarah "The Chu" Wilson

A fantasy/adventure webxomic with a dedicated update history, currently twice a week. It's about time we added something new here. --Kitch ^{(Talk : Contrib)} 19:42, 15 July 2012 (EDT)

• At Arm's Length, a funny multifurry comic. --Equestrian 16:15, 22 September 2013
• Add your nomination above here. --GreenReaper^(talk)

I like this comic! It be drawed good! --SomeoneElse

Pending nominations

The following nominations are for comics for which no WikiFur article has yet been created; once that is done, they may be moved to the regular nominations category above.

• The Mows by Jay Dyke webcomic --24.228.17.60 05:30, 29 August 2009
• Conejo Frustrado by Mike Bonales webcomic --Spirou 14:49, 21 November 2011

Past comics

Complete archive of front-page Comic of the Week entries ^edit (may take time to load, but it's worth the wait)

These comics have already been featured - please do not nominate them again!

2011

• Week 48: The Suburban Jungle, by John "The Gneech" Robey (Nice artwork, and a long, established run) - --Leo Delgrith 19:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Great comic, but the article needs more work. --mwalimu 23:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The artist has indicated that this comic may be ending its run soon. I consider it to be one of the all-time classics among furry comics and I think it deserves to be featured here before it ends its run. What can we do to bring this article up to snuff so we can feature it? --mwalimu 21:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

• Week 17: Boomer Express, by Tyrnn Eaveranth and Jakebe Sunraven

Seconded!--Graveyard Greg

With a better article, certainly. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I have since made adjustments to the comic's article, but ironically the comic is updated so infrequently now I'm not sure if it would still be eligible. --Equestrian

It'll do. --GreenReaper^(talk) 02:24, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

2010

• Week 33-34: Skin Deep, by Kory Bingaman

While not self-titled as a furry comic, this story features a world where magic allows most animalistic mythical creatures to disguise themselves in varying degrees of anthropomorphism, even to the extent of appearing fully human. Features such characters as gryphons, sphinxes, white stags, harpies, and dragons. floppybelly

Sure. There's no time like the present. Let's get this up and work through some of the backlog in subsequent weeks. --GreenReaper^(talk)

• Week 17: Housepets!, by Rick Griffin

It's good enough now. Featured. --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

2009

• Week 38: Code Name: Hunter, by Darcy (Darc) Sowers and Matt (Gyrfalcon) Sowers [submitted by Rat]

  Seconded, and featured. --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

• Week 35: Exterminatus Now, by Garry "Lothar" Webber, Alan "The Virus" Graham, Stuart "Eastwood" Edney, and Martin "Silversword" Faulkner --Jammingthefates

  Seconded, and featured. Nice style. --GreenReaper^(talk) 03:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

2008

November 2008

• Week 49: Tails From the Mynarski Forest, by Richard T. Matheson [submitted by 75.35.244.139]

  Seconded. Would be nice if the article was better, but this is certainly a deserving comic. --GreenReaper^(talk) 02:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

September 2008

• Week 40: Furthia High, by QuetzaDrake. --Immelmann 13:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

  I read it. Seconded. — beeps (talk, contribs) 08:50, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

  Third..ed? I like it. --Cray Vulpes Spirit 03:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

• Week 28: Over The Hedge, written by Michael Fry, drawn by T. Lewis. Featured by Brushwell Clinton.

  Seconded. --GreenReaper^(talk)

January 2008

• Week 4: Circles, written by Stephen Domanski and Andrew French, with art by K-9. Article much better after the merge from Wikipedia's now-deleted article. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

2007

December 2007

• Week 52: Concession, by Immelmann An Awesome ongoing comic, A very funny read. Jet 22:30, 29 June 2007

Funny yet gory, serious yet over the top; and well drawn too! Gets my vote! :D --Tori Belliachi 18:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. --GreenReaper^(talk) 21:52, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• Week 49: Sequential Art, by Phillip M. Jackson. Not a specifically furry comic, but a good webcomic with a fairly large article. I also think it could use better public coverage. --Tori Belliachi 20:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)-

  Seconded! I love this guy's work. --Jigsaw Forte 03:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007

• Week 45: Entre Nous, written by Matthew Johnson and drawn by Richard Van Cleave. --ISD

  Seconded. --GreenReaper^(talk) 01:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

September 2007

• Week 38: Carpe Diem, by Graveyard Greg and others (Sensitive and believable treatments of GLTB issues without becoming adult-rated, all furry cast with real life personalities, available both in print and online, long-established run) --Altivo 16:02, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  Seconded. --mwalimu 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  I would like to recant my nomination for the time being, for a couple of reasons: First, while the comic itself is great, the WikiFur article needs more work. Second, the comic is on hiatus at the moment, and I think we would honor the comic better if we feature it at a time when it is updating regularly. --mwalimu 18:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  Thirded. --Aelius 19:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

  Thank you for the nomination (and the kind words, Mwalimu!), but I respectfully decline being a comic of the week until the comic claws its way out of hiatus. --Graveyard Greg

  It appears to be now - at least, it's as good a time as any. Featured. --GreenReaper^(talk) 00:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

July 2007

• Week 29: I don't expect this to win but... Fuzzy Things want's to be edited... - cchristian talk

May 2007

  Seconded, featuring. --GreenReaper^(talk) 23:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

April 2007

• Week 17: Jewel Vixens, by Nicholas Hardin and Steven Swanson

  Second -- JaeSharp 02:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Week 15: Bristled, by Stephanie Mebius, because it has a good article and currently has a topical comic. --GreenReaper^(talk) 01:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

March 2007

• Week 12: Purple Pussy, by Shmorky. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stoneth (talk • contribs) .

  Seconded. --GreenReaper^(talk) 01:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

February 2007

• Week 9: Cross Time Cafe, by numerous artists. --GreenReaper^(talk) 02:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

  Seconded. I looked at all the nominated articles and Cross Time Cafe looks like the third best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Week 7: Spider-Ham, by Tom DeFalco and Mark Armstrong (Nominated because of being a funny animal book by a major publishing company just like Week 2, 2007 winner Captain Carrot) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KendricksRedtail (talk • contribs) .

  Seconded. --GreenReaper^(talk) 01:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

2006

December 2006

• Week 49: Lackadaisy, by Tracy Butler. Nominator's comment "Hi, I'm not a user here but I really think this deserves an awful lot of praise. http://www.lackadaisycats.com/ " —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.100.187.115 (talk • contribs) .

  The artwork does look nice. It seems to be pretty new, of course (just the four comics so far). --GreenReaper^(talk) 19:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  I think the article is currently too small for Comic of the Week status. --EarthFurst 17:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

  Fortunately someone wrote a good one on Wikipedia, which we've imported. It's developed to 22 comics this year, which is about a bi-weekly update schedule. Seems good enough, and worth noting. --GreenReaper^(talk) 02:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

October 2006

• Week 43: Atomic Mouse by Al Fago and his brother Vince (nice article with pictures) --GreenReaper^(talk) 16:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

  Seconded. I looked at all the nominated articles and Atomic Mouse looks like the second best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Week 42: Deer Me, by Sheryl Schopfer --Gene Breshears

  Seconded. I like the animation style, simple, elegent, and a nice balance of cartoonish nature with complex figures, especially in the later commics. ----Leo Delgrith 18:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

  I had to vote for this just for the bit where Viana was roped into helping with the convention again. :-) --GreenReaper^(talk) 03:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

September 2006

• Week 38: Lacunae, by Silverblue

  Strong second. I looked at all the nominated articles and Lacunae looks like the best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

August 2006

• Week 34: 21st Century Fox, by Scott Kellogg (popular comic; very good article) --mwalimu 18:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  Seconded. Looks like a good article. Too bad the only image is a rating image. --EarthFurst 05:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

  Fixed that, and updated it with some extra bits from Wikipedia. Could still do with separate character images, but it's good to co for CotW. --GreenReaper^(talk) 21:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Week 33: TwoKinds, by Tom Fischbach —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.221.77.84 (talk • contribs) .

  Looks good, regular updating, better synopsis than others available. --GreenReaper^(talk) 08:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

July 2006

• Week 29: Kevin and Kell, by Bill Holbrook --Duncan da Husky 15:45, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  Seconded.--Tom Howling 10:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

  It's a good, long-running comic. Our article on it sucks, though. Heck, I edited it last, and that was back in February. :-) --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

  Thirded!--Graveyard Greg

• Week 28: Y?, by Chad Burbidge --(U)(T)(C)

  Seconded. --SpazKitty

  Thirded. --Kitch 17:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

  Similar to Mwalimu's note above, Y? is currently on hiatus while the author writes the next story arc. Spaz Kitty 19:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

  Fourthed It's out of hiatus now, so now would be a perfect time to feature it, IMHO. I like it's unique (And iconoclaustic to the fandom) animation style, and it's slice-of-life story. --Leo Delgrith 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

June 2006

• Week 26-27: Extinctioners, by Shawntae Howard (huge series of articles on comic and characters) --GreenReaper^(talk) 23:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  I second this! Aaaamory 03:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

• Week 18-19: Sabrina Online, by Eric W. Schwartz

  Seconded.--mwalimu 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  OK, I get it - next week! --GreenReaper^(talk) 13:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

  I second this nomination. --Kitch 03:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• Week 5: Furrlough (recently passed issue #154, 14th anniversary edition, and has a good article describing the comic's history) --GreenReaper^(talk) 06:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

January 2006

• Week 4: West Corner Of the Park by Jim Groat and Cuprohastes (Closely tied to FurryMUCK, features cameos by many well-known characters, jokes related to personalities and furry RP behaviors) --Altivo 15:51, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
• Week 3: DMFA by Amber Panyko. --MKerris 12:45, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  I think this is a worthwhile, long-running comic with a wide fan base. --GreenReaper^(talk) 17:02, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  Just passed 600 comics, too! --GreenReaper^(talk) 07:05, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

• Week 2: Tales of the Questor by Ralph Hayes, Jr. --mwalimu 17:39, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

• Week 1: Freefall by Mark Stanley. --Kiranlightpaw 17:33, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  It features an interesting storyline and some quite believable characters, among other things. A pretty good comic, imo. :) --MKerris 18:19, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  Another good long-running comic (I note that both this and DMFA have already been chosen as featured articles). --GreenReaper^(talk) 17:02, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)

2005

December 2005

• Week 52: Faux Pas by Robert and Margaret Carspecken (Delightful humor, true life situations compounded by absurdities, superb drawing style, and long-established run with archives available online) --Altivo 12:33, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  Second the motion! --Duncan da Husky 13:09, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
